Having never done Robotics before, I took it on as part of my Year 7 & 8 Enrichment Programme this year and found the Edison bots so easy to use and work with. I found some lego which meant we could style our robots which the kids loved. Total engagement every lesson - what a winner.

Super fast delivery and great advice on the phone for a newbie with these products. Thank you MindKits.

I purchased the Edison robots for my Digital Technology department to add authentic context to the new DT curriculum. They are robust, easy to program and adds excitement to the classroom. The Edison by itself is great for Junior team-based programming tasks, or, alternatively with the extension pack, great for L1 or L2 achievement standards (develop a computer program).

"This is a 10-pin socket with 2mm pitch that mates with the popular XBee radio from Digi. Use this small part to avoid having to solder your precious radio to a PCB. You’ll need two of these sockets to connect to all 20 pins on the XBee. These headers can also be cut to work with the RFID breakout board. Please Note: This item is sold singly, not in pairs.

These headers are made to work with the Arduino Uno R3,Leonardo and new Arduino boards going forward. They have longer contact length for clearing the USB-B connector and great for stacking multiple shields. This kit includes 4 headers (2 8-pin and 1 6-pin and 1 10-pin), enough to connect a shield to an Arduino UNO R3 Main Board. Include 1x 1x6 Female Header for Arduino
2x 1x8 Female Header for Arduino 1x 1x10 Female Header For Arduino ...

"Do you need a lot of space? But you need it in the size of your pinky nail? microSD (uSD) is here to save the day. TransFlash has now completed standards certification and is now known as microSD. Compatible with the SPI interface found on any SD card, this tiny form factor was created for cell phone storage and is perfect for your next MP3 project! This is a high quality push-push type SMD socket. A breakout board is available below. Note: The default detect state of this socket is detect...

"SD cards are all over the place and they’re great for storing large amounts of data. Why not take advantage by adding an SD socket to your next data heavy project. We use it on a whole bunch of our boards! The SD/MMC ( Secure Digital Disk / Multi Media Cards) cards use a very simple SPI serial bus as well as a 4-bit proprietary bus. Documents: Datasheet
